Does the AMD FX-4170 4.2GHz Quad-Core Socket AM3+ CPU with AMD Virtualization Technology - FD4170FRGUBOX fit this motherboard ?

No, the P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 supports Intel processors only. Please see here for a complete list of supported CUP's: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_PROGEN3/#support_CPU.

Yes it is compatible with am3+. AMD Socket AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, and FM2+ can all use the same CPU cooler.

Yes of course. That's what I used before I got a different one. And the board says AM3+/FX series. The 4300, 6xxx(cant remember), and the bulldozer is the fx series. This board fits all of those and is backwards compatible as well.

Yes they are compatible. They are both AM3+ sockets. If you are doing a new build and not just updating your processor, I would recommend going with an FM2 processor and board. The AMD APU processors are really fast, and don't get as hot. If you decided to stay with this processor, make sure you have an exhaust fan, it does get hot in the case with the stock fan. This processor runs fast and hot under loads. If you plan on over clocking, get a bigger heatsink and fan!Hope this helps!

Sorry for the delay. The e-mail initiating this conversation when to my non-main e-mail. Nope. This is an FM2 socket, which is incompatible with AM3+ chips (read: anything Phenom). You'd need to specifically buy an AMD APU (Specifically the AMD A#-5#### or A#-6#### series processor).Hope that makes sense.

Yes thats the exact cpu I bought it for. Well the 6350 but yes any fx amd will fit and work well.

Yeah it should work, Athlons use FM2 socket and in the description of the motherboard it supports AMD Athlon ^^

I returned the product, but per mfg. website: fans 140 x 140 x 25 mm and heatsink 135 x 160 x 60mm. It wouldn't fit with my setup as outlined above. Will work on AMD AM3, AM2+, and AM2. I believe the 4170 is AM3+, but in terms of actually fitting you will be fine. AM3+ only tweaks are a faster HT Bus and minor.power mgmt changes. Same thing in terms of footprint relating to the cooler.

No, supported sockets on their website: Intel: 1155/1156 1150 1366 775 AMD: FM1 FM2 AM3+ AM3 AM2+ AM2 940 939 754

No, this motherboard works with APU processors (combines a CPU with a GPU). The AMD FX-8320 CPU works with motherboards that support the AM3+ socket.
2200059
yes this motherboard will support any of the fx series cpu's as it supports up to 140 volts. there is no bios updated needed plug and play. it will also support any of the older am3 cpu's as well
816920
yeah i have an fx6300 with this mobo. All fx cpus use am3, which this one has.

It's an AMD AM2+/AM3 socket CPU. Fits any board that has an AM2+/AM3 socket, assuming the board is compatible and supports the clock speed and wattage.

Yes, I have the AMD A10-5800K APU 3.8Ghz Processor AD580KWOHJBOX running on this motherboard right now and it is running perfectly.
1931103
Nope. That motherboard is older, and it has a different socket. Look up motherboards that have an AM3+ socket in order for this CPU to work.

The Arctic website says the Apline 64 GT Rev. 2 will fit an AMD FM2 socket. So yes, it should fit your CPU.

It will work nicely with that board, it'll be clocked down to 2.0. From what I understand, only intel currently supports 3.0; AMD does not yet have any chipsets that support PCI 3, but you wont notice any difference in performance by using it in the PCI 2 slot. I have an AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera on a system paired with this card and couldn't be happier.
